NC's last ditch effort to garner support for NC-led consensus government failed after the all-party meeting today failed to reach any conclusion on a government based on consensus.

The deadline given by President Ram Baran Yadav to from a consensus government will end at 5 PM today.

Likewise, the parties have also reached conclusion on not asking for the extension of deadline for consensus government formation reckoning that chances for the same are slim.

NC leaders are scheduled to meet President Yadav at his residence in Sheetal Niwas later today and brief him about the failure of the efforts to forge agreement on consensus government formation. President Yadav is expected to provide a week's time to the parties to now form government based on majority.
